LSYSA will be using RainedOut.com as its primary system of notification to its members for field closings. We encourage all of our coaches, managers, parents, and club officials to create accounts so that you can receive emails and mobile phone alerts. VERY IMPORTANT: When you search for LSYSA be sure to click on LSYSA Spring 2010 (there is another LSYSA link that will appear, but we don’t know who set it up)

Thank you.

• Schedules being redone: Girls U14 (Monday night-only for 2/13-waiting for 5th team)
• Boys U10 II/III were combined to form and (11) team U10 II with each team playing 10 games
• Coaching conflicts will be adjusted after new schedules are posted this weekend (by Monday night) - with so many coaches with 2 teams, the schedule was not able to guarantee 100% coverage of conflicts
• Schedule requests will follow LSYSA Guidelines (no new rules)-Click Here

• Rosters: There are limits based on age groups (U9-10 @ 12 players, U11-12 @ 14 players, and U13- U18.
  
• Rosters: Teams are allowed up to (4) "floaters" from another team within the club who will appear on both rosters. The intent of the rule is to allow more players the opportunity to get more playing time. These players should not be the top players from the other team. They should be players who do not start on the "A" team and thus will benefit from starting on the "B" team. It also allows clubs to form (2) teams instead of having too many for one. This system also allows Academy programs some flexibility and development benefits to these players. Floaters may only come from one division up or down.
  
• Rosters: Seasonal changes = 5
  
• Rosters: Rosters will be frozen every Tuesday at 5pm and re-opened at 6pm on Saturdays. This gives teams from Sat evening - Tuesday @ 5pm to make roster changes
  
• Rosters: Teams are to present their Demosphere Team Page roster to the referee prior to each match. This is in addition to the player passes. 
  
• Schedule Changes: There will be no changes to the LSYSA rules, however, the rules will be enforced. Generally speaking, a schedule change made (2) weeks in advance of said match will result in a $25 fee to be charged to the club. Within (2) weeks and the fee is $50. In order to hasten the process, teams should contact the opposing team to arrange a suitable date and time and field to present to the League Scheduler. The request should then be sent to the LS stating the match # to be rescheduled, the Division, date, time, field, teams and the agreed upon date, time and field. The LS will try to accomodate the agreed upon match, but reserves the right to alter the match details if a conflict is evident. The LS will then send an invoice to the LSYSA Treasurer for the rescheduled match.
• Forfeits: Notification of a forfeit after 6pm on the previous day will result in a $100 fine as will a no-show by the team.

• In the following divisions, first time games against teams that are scheduled twice in the season will not count in the standings:
• Boys U9 II, Boys U11 II, Boys U12 III, Girls U12 I
• Standings at the conclusion of the regular season will determine the seedings for the Crescent Cup on May 7-8
• Scores are to be called in by the winning team (see side bar for instruction), if the game is a tie, the Home team calls in the score
• A maximum of 3 goals per game will be used to determine GF-GA in the tie-breaker.
